GO:0045739Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~129 member genes
Q-omics provides the Positive regulation of DNA repair (GO:0045739) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 129 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 24 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRC. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 14, with the highest sampling consensus in LIHC. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 37,071 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Together, these results highlight KIRC, LIHC, and HNSC as cancer lineages where the pathway shows reproducible signals across outcome, tissue activity, and molecular association analyses.
Every result is evaluated using two consensus scores. Sampling consensus measures how consistently a finding is reproduced within a cancer lineage across different conditions. Lineage consensus measures how broadly the result is shared across cancer types, distinguishing pan-cancer signals from lineage-specific patterns. Pathway-against-pathway and pathway-against-mutation comparisons are not available for ontology entities.
Survival associations
This table summarizes Positive regulation of DNA repair survival associations by molecular data type. RNA-level pathway activity shows survival associations in the most cancer types (24). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each layer.
This table ranks reproducible pathway activity–survival associations across cancer types. High Positive regulation of DNA repair activity shows favorable associations in HNSC and BLCA, but unfavorable associations in KIRC, ACC, LIHC and KICH. In the KIRC Kaplan–Meier curve the high-activity group declines faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). KIRC ranks highest by sampling consensus for Positive regulation of DNA repair.
This table summarizes Positive regulation of DNA repair tumor–normal activity differences by data type. RNA-level activity shows significant tumor–normal differences in 14 cancer types, while mass-spec protein activity shows differences in 1. The strongest signals are in LIHC for RNA and COAD for protein.
This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal activity differences for the pathway. A positive fold-change indicates higher activity in tumor tissue. The pathway shows consistently higher tumor activity across LIHC, LUSC, LUAD, COAD, HNSC and BLCA. In the LIHC box plot, tumor samples show higher pathway activity than matched normal samples (log2 FC = +0.053, t-test p < 0.001).
This table shows molecular features associated with Positive regulation of DNA repair pathway activity in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, pathway activity is most strongly linked to RNA and protein features, with the largest associated set in HNSC. In cancer cell lines, RNA-expression features and functional dependencies dominate, with the largest set in LIVER.
